Cookie Policy

Your data and your rights

What are cookies

This site uses cookies. This policy explains what they are, how we use them on an ecommerce/WordPress site, and how you can manage your choices. For wider privacy information, see our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small files placed on your device to help the site work, remember choices, and measure performance. We treat similar tools (like local storage and pixels) the same way.

How we use cookies on an ecommerce/WordPress site

We use cookies to:

  • run the website, basket and checkout reliably

  • remember your settings and sign-in

  • show recently viewed products

  • process secure payments and prevent fraud

  • understand how the site is used so we can improve it

  • show marketing only if you consent

We also use cookies set by WordPress to support sign-in for account holders and administrators, remember comment preferences, and run embedded content (for example, maps or videos). Some security, caching and performance tools may set strictly necessary cookies to keep the site fast and secure.

Because this is an ecommerce store, some cookies are essential for shopping to work (for example, basket, session, sign-in and consent cookies). Names may vary depending on the services we use.

Analytics and advertising cookies are non-essential and load only if you agree in our banner. Where we use analytics, IP masking is enabled. Our payment provider may set strictly necessary cookies to process payments and prevent fraud.

Managing your choices

You can update your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings control on the site. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site (including basket and checkout) won’t work.

Legal basis

We use strictly necessary cookies to deliver the service you request (contract and legitimate interests). We use analytics and advertising cookies only with your consent under PECR and UK GDPR.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll post any changes here and update the date above.
